The aprés ski bit

This is the bit where we head for the mountains to shred up the slopes. Whether you're an adventure aficionado or keen to try something new, Victoria's snowfields are home to a plethora of options. Snowboarding? Check. Skiing? Check. Snowshoeing? Absolutely. Dog sledding? We've got it, as well as tobogganing, alpine spas, incredible food and drink and accommodation that ranges from budget to luxe.
